Construction Advisory Group

The Somerville School Construction Advisory Group will help develop recommendations on the location and scope of the new school, which will be considered by the Mayor. The Advisory Group will spend a period of approximately 14 months developing a recommendation on whether the project scope should focus solely on the Winter Hill School or if it should include the Brown School as well, and where a new school could be located.

Members selected for the Construction Advisory Group to date include the following. Remaining positions including for teachers, students, and potentially additional community group representatives, will be shared when filled.

The next meeting will take place on August 11, 2025. Details can be found here.
